Alienware Area - 51

On paper, the Area 51 has the heart of a champion. It sports a speedy Intel Q9550 quad-core processor running at its stock-clock frequency of 2.83 GHz. Four gigabytes of DDR3-1066 memory further beef up its specs, while 800GB of storage comes courtesy...

Well-constructed

Tired case design

We can't bear to shoot Alienware's Area 51, but there's no question that this thoroughbred PC has outlived its days at the top of the system charts. At $3219 (as of December 3, 2008; $380 extra with a bundled Samsung 2253BW monitor), it's far too...

Alienware Area 51 M9750 review – Media powerhouse

An Alienware computer is a mythical beast. Ever since Alienware started making computers in 1996, gamers and power hungry PC addicts have drooled over their speed, processing power, and overall design. This is the first time I've ever spent more than a...

Alienware Area-51 m5790 Review

I looked at the HP dv9000t, Dell XPS M1710, Toshiba Qosmio & Satellite models and several others before deciding on the Alienware m5790. Dell had the specs, but was way too expensive. HP looked great and was priced well, but had only VGA video output &...

Beautiful design and great build ; DVI port when most are still using VGA ; Excellent sound ; Great processing power and video graphics ; High resolution (1920 x 1200!) glossy screen ; Runs quietly even at High Performance settings ; Integrated...

Some keyboard buttons are annoyingly small compared to a desktop keyboard ; Mouse buttons are somewhat overly stiff ; Gets pretty warm on the surface ; 3 USB ports and Firewire port located on right side when most are right handed and use an external...

One big positive with this as opposed to my old Compaq Presario, my niece's Toshiba Satellite and others is that Alienware does not add on all that proprietary "bloat ware" crap software that just bogs the whole system down. It feels like I did the...

Alienware Area-51 m5750 with Core 2 Duo Review (pics, specs)

The Alienware 5750 is a 17 screen gaming notebook. It features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, ATI X1800 graphics card and of course the distinctive Alienware flashy design.

Beautiful design and great build Strong processing power and graphics Number pad High resolution glossy screen Runs Quietly

Keyboard is small and buttons are poorly arranged Can get very warm

I would recommend this computer to anyone that is the above average serious computer enthusiast. It is not the top-shelf computer at Alienware; it is one of their mid-range laptop. It suits my needs very well. It doesn't come feature heavy like other...

Alienware Area-51

There's no mistaking the newly updated Alienware Area-51 ($3,599 direct) for a mass-produced PC. The over-the-top chassis features glowing, retro-futuristic side vents and a Roswell-inspired alien head. Inside, the high-end components are all about...
